Getting cheats onto another player's game is next level. Never seen that before. Imagine the damage this could've done to player reputations if this was done in a more subtle way where it just looked like the player / streamer accidentally exposed themselves. Scary.
What is going on!? Apex player Genburten just got hacked mid-tournament and is now able to see EVERY player on the map. Today is the last playday that determines the final #ALGS LAN spots for NA.

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that. As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵
